Locals plan to attend 4-H week
Three Warm Springs youth
and three adult volunteers will
be attending 4-H Summer

University June 13-18.
The young people who will
be participating in the 4-H
Summer Week program are
D e a n ie S m ith , M o n ic a
Wahnetah and Tammy Smith.
As 4 -H S u m m e r W eek
delegates, they will attend
classes like computers, creative
drama, clowning workshops,
gun safety, forestry field trips,
kitchen chemistry, leathercraft,
photography and others. There
will be plenty of time to just
have fun and meet new friends
from all over the state.
A dults can attend 4-H
Summer Week, too. Louise M.
Jackson from Warm Springs is
planning to attend as a leader-
helper. She will be helping out
wherever needed during the
week, but mostly will be having
fun. Adult leader-helpers are
assigned to perform such tasks
as helping class instructors with
classes, driving vans to classes
off campus and helping in the
nurses station.
Clifton and Chris Bruno met
at 4-H Summer Week and are
going back again this year as
part of the Summer Week staff.
Chris will be co-leading a
“sharing raps” group. Sharing
raps is a special two-hour
sharing class for older 4-H
Sum m er W eek delegates.
Groups consist of about 15
participants and are led by two
a d u lt leaders. The basic
objective of the sharing raps
groups is to help participants
develop a stronger sense of
community and fellowship
while at Summer Week. Clifton
will not be leading a sharing
raps group but will be helping
with another part of the 4-H

Fruit Juices are nutritious
“Fruit juices are a good
beverage choice for hot
summer days,” says Teresa
H ogue, Jefferson C ounty
Extension agent. “They’re
nutritious as well as thirst
quenching.”
In contrast to soft drinks,
most fruit contribute vitamin C
to the diet. Grapefruit and
orange are good examples. In
a d d itio n , v ita m in C is
commonly added to other
processed fruit juices including
pineapple and cranberry.

these must contain 100 percent
natural fruit juice.
Fruit “drinks,” on the other
hand, are diluted. For example,
a “nectar” can range from 33 to
50 percent juice. An “ade”
contains at least 25 percent
juice.
“ Som e fru it-fla v o re d
beverages contain as little as 10
percent juice,” Raab points
out. These products are high
in sugar and water. Although

Grass stains may be removed
by rubbing a small amount of

“ Grass stains that have
already been through the
laundry process are more
difficult to remove,” explains
Ardis W. Koester, Oregon
State University Extension
textiles and clothing specialist.
For grass stains that are set,
y o u ’ll need patience and
persistence.
Start with a cloth dampened
with drycleaning solvent. Rub
the stain with the drycleaning
solvent until as much of the
stain as possible has been
removed. Let the stained area
dry and the drycleaning solvent
evaporate.
Next use a cloth dampened
with fingernail polish remover
to sponge away as much of the
stain as possible. Rinse with a
small amount of drycleaning
solvent to evaporate.
“If the stain still remains,
apply several drops of white
vinegar,” Koester says. Work
the vinegar into the stain with a
soft brush or the back of a
spoon. Rinse with water and
allow the stain to dry.
The next chemical to try is
rubbing alcohol. Work rubbing
alcohol into the stain with an
absorbent cloth or soft brush.
If some stain remains, bleach
with three percent hydrogen
peroxide. Then launder the

dates back to 1900
up all over the country. T he
first use of the term “4-H Club”
was in 1918. The H ’s signified
Head, H eart, Hands and
Health. By 1924, the name 4-H
had stuck and has been used
ever since as the official name
for the E xtension youth
program.
Today, 4-H clubs are more
than just teaching kids about
agriculture, although livSSTSck
and ag ricu ltu re are still
common 4-H projects. 4-H
boys and and girls may choose
from a wide variety of projects
in animal science, horticulture,
home economics, creative arts,
natural science and mechanical
science. The projects offered in
a given community are only
limited by whether there is an
adult leader to teach the
project. In 4-H boys and girls
can “learn by doing” whether
they live in the country or in the
city.
A 4-H club is composed of
one or more adult leaders and a
num ber of young people
in te re ste d in le a rn in g a
particular skill. Leaders help
youth decide what the club will
do, guide them in projects, help
them learn skills and assist
them in reaching their goals.
Parents and other adult family
members often help youth with
their projects and activities.
Young people have the
opportunity to learn more than
just project skills like how to
sew a dress. 4-Hers have
o p p o rtu n itie s to dev elo p
leadership skills by serving as a
club officer or helping to plan
and carry out an activity. They
may participate in presenta
tions that help them gain more
self-confidence in speaking
before a group or preside at a
club meeting.
4-H is fun, but it’s more than
that. It is “learning by doing”
and having fun at the same
time.
